Birthdays don't need to be expensive when you are creative! Here are some ideas on celebrating your birthday without breaking
the bank.
1) Make Your Own Sundae. Set out bowls of ice cream toppings—crushed cookies, nuts, chocolate chunks,
barquillos, strawberry syrup, cherries, you name it. You can choose what fits
your budget. Watch kids and adults alike jostle for position around the table
as soon as you scoop NESTLÉ Ice Cream into their cup.
2) Less Fuss, More Fun. Minimize cleanup by serving other food items that don’t need individual
bowls, saucers and utensils to be eaten, such as brownies or popcorn. This
gives the host more time to mingle during the party or to relax afterwards.
3) Giveaway Twists. For children’s parties, hide each wrapped party favor in an area where the
children won’t venture to until the end of the party. Tell them to look for one
bag each, which they will bring home. Just make sure all bags are found and
everyone gets something.
The birthday girl or boy should also get a treat! Decorate a bag to reflect
his or her interests: for instance, cutouts of his favorite basketball star or
stickers of her pop singer idol. Fill the bag with candy, useful stuff like
sticky note pads, and a hand-written birthday greeting.
4) Celebrate Good Health. Arrange fruits that can be eaten without much hassle—oranges, bananas,
grapes, etc.—in a basket. Or create a fruit salad with all-purpose cream and
just a little condensed milk. Guests will appreciate having vitamin-rich
dessert options.
For a nutritious appetizer, serve vegetable sticks with this creamy dip.
